Cleaning and lubing the chain today. Any opinions about this product

On my tu250x. I have used this stuff. And the dealership told me it's a bad idea but trying to up-sell me on something that was very similar but a product of a carry in shop.

I still have a can of it lying around when I used it I encountered no issues but I noticed it likes to attract sand and dust

The manual says to clean and lube every 500 miles, do you guys do that?

I personally do every 300 miles but the amount changes based on things like road condition and whether or not you park covered.

As long as there is no rust on the inside links it should be fine

I use spray grease and clean it every couple of days. I've managed like that for years.

Liquid kerosene also works wonders for removing grease

Thanks, the Honda techs recommended WD40. Used it last time and worked pretty good.

Thanks guys. I picked up the Dupont stuff yesterday and needed to know if you'll have used it. Reviews suggest it's good but this IS the interwebs, after all.

Since I have been so negligent I plan to step it up and will try the other products you suggested.

Done deal. I like The chain looks sparkly. Jim Jill Wilm. This is a suppose to be self cleaning product. My chain was so goopy (1300 miles - so embarrassing) I had to clean it first with WD40. Do you?

So you use this as a self cleaner and a lube?

I find that aerosol wax despite however much engineering they put into it still is a dust magnet

I use WD40 on mine . But after doing some research I'm switching to liquid wrench . long as I keep the links and rollers wet the chain will last longer . but for to replace the front sprocket soon . but as of today it'll sit till the right side complete exhaust is replaced . we're not in NO hurry to fix it .
